How to test a cube net
Predict which faces meet before folding.
Try it
Draw six connected squares. Choose a base, label opposite faces and rotate each neighbouring face mentally.
Check your reasoning
Fold a copy. A valid net forms six distinct faces without overlap.
Try a counterexample
Draw a solid two-by-three rectangle of six squares. It has the correct number of faces, but the interior arrangement cannot wrap around a cube without conflict. Ask learners to move one square at a time and test again.
